This will probably be my last post for awhile, because I think I'll start sounding like a broken record....
Still working 6 hours a day, still have achy pain in my left shoulder blade (sort of remedied by ice pack or heating pad). But, I have a new sleep record - 6 hours the other night! It felt soooo good.
The only "exciting" thing in the last week is that I went to have two stitches removed that had not yet dissolved. I didn't realize there is a risk of infection if you let those hang around, so I'm glad I went in. One came right out, the other one had to be pulled and trimmed with suture scissors. It was funny how anxious I felt about all of it, after everything I've already been through. I guess a doctor approaching your back with scissors can bring back some subconscious memories.
Oh, and how could I forget - I got the first bill in the mail for $72,000!! That doesn't include my surgeon, anesthesiologist, etc. Thank god for insurance! The screws themselves were over $2,000 apiece. I told my boyfriend I might insure my back the way Heidi Klum insured her legs
